Why is condeding not allowed in tournaments?
I'm playing a game of Backgammon where i have clearly (and spectacularly) lost and yet i have to spend a lot of extra time just going through the motions to finish the game.

It'd be differentif the winning player can get "backgammon" but i don't believe this happens on BGA. It also means that it wastes time for the other player who could be moving onto another round of the tournament. And there are other d**k players who would let the time just run out.

Many games have some type of tiebreak which matters for tournament standings. This would be wrecked by conceded games.
